CHIPS and IRA are building on the strength of local economies to create advanced manufacturing clusters in both semiconductors and solar panels

Bar height represents the share of total manufacturing investment in each category since 2021.

Feasibility represents data from RMI's Clean Growth Tool on the regions best-positioned (given their underlying economic capabilities) to compete in 'Solar Energy Components' manufacturing. This category is a useful proxy for semiconductor manufacturing feasibility because it includes the North American Industry Classification Standards (NAICS) code for 'Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing' .
